With the Gold Standard American Meteorological Society's Certified Seal of Approval and 27 years of experience, I am one of, if not the only, meteorologists in the world that holds the rare triple certification of the American Meteorological Society's Certified Seal of Approval, the National Weather Association Seal of Approval combined with an EPA certification, creating unparalled credibility. I have saved clients hundreds of thousands of dollars through my expert reports. My experience includes slip-n-falls, wind damage, hurricanes, sun angle cases, and weather-related wrongful death. I use cutting edge technology to explain complex meteorological parameters in an easy to understand way for a non-technical audience.
